Aircraft Flight Controller The Phantom 3 SE s flight controller features several important upgrades, including a new flight mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight to the onboard storage device. The new flight controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking feature. Flight Mode Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found below: P-mode (Positioning): P-mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P-mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 SE depending on signal strength of GPS and Vision Positioning sensors : P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufficient. The aircraft is using only the Vision Positioning System for positioning. P-ATTI: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude can be stabilized. A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization. The aircraft only uses its barometer. The aircraft can still automatically return to the home point if the control signal is lost and the Home Point was recorded successfully. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Flight Mode is activated in this mode. Refer to the Appendix for more information. Use the S1 switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft. The Flight Mode is locked in P Mode by default, regardless of switch position. To switch flight modes, go to Camera view in the DJI GO app, tap and enable Multiple Flight Modes. Aircraft Flight Status Indicator The Phantom 3 SE has Front LEDs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these LEDs are shown in the figure below: Aircraft Status Indicator Front LED The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEDs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft. The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the system status of the flight controller. Refer to the table below for more information about the Aircraft Status Indicators. 2017 DJI All Rights Reserved. 11

There are three types of RTH procedures: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes these three scenarios in detail. Home Point GPS Description If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is the location from which the aircraft was launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon ( ). The aircraft status indicator will blink rapidly when the home point is recorded. Smart RTH Tap in the DJI GO app or toggle the S2 switch on the remote controller back and forth at least twice to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will first ascend to the Return-to-Home altitude, then return to the last recorded Home Point if a GPS signal is available. During the RTH procedure, you may use the remote controller to guide the aircraft around obstacles. Tap in the DJI GO app or toggle the S1 switch once to terminate Smart RTH and regain full control of the aircraft. 12 2017 DJI All Rights Reserved.

Low Battery RTH The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted. The DJI GO app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a ten-second countdown. The user can cancel the RTH procedure. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft s current altitude and distance from the Home Point. The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude. The user can still use the remote controller to alter the aircraft s orientation during the landing process. The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI GO app, and is described below: Aircraft Critical Low battery level warning (Red) Low battery level warning (Yellow) Sufficient battery level (Green) Remaining flight time Power requires to Return-to-Home 12:29 Battery level Indicator Battery Level Warning Remark Aircraft Status Indicator DJI GO app Flight Instructions Low battery level warning The battery power is low.

20 m If the aircraft is flying under 20 meters (65 feet) and Failsafe (including 20 m Smart RTH, Lower Battery RTH ) is triggered, the aircraft will first H automatically ascend to 20 meters (65 feet) from the current altitude. You can only cancel the ascending by exiting the Failsafe. 20 m 20 m H Aircraft automatically descends and lands if RTH is triggered when the aircraft flies within a 20 meters (65 feet) radius of the Home Point. Aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point if you move the throttle stick if the aircraft reaches 20 meters (65 feet) altitudes or beyond during Failsafe. Aircraft cannot return to the Home Point when GPS signal is weak ( [ ] displays grey) or unavailable. Aircraft If you move the throttle stick after the aircraft rises above 65 feet (20m) but below the pre-set Failsafe RTH altitude, the aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point. Vision Positioning System The DJI Vision Positioning System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Phantom 3 SE can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where a GPS signal is not available. The main components of the Vision Positioning System are located on the bottom of your Phantom 3 SE; they include [1] one monocular camera and [2] two ultrasonic sensors. [1] [2] Using Vision Positioning Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 SE is turned on. No further action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in indoor environments, where GPS is unavailable. 2017 DJI All Rights Reserved. 15

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 1. Toggle the S1 switch to the upper most position. 2. Place the aircraft on a flat surface. Note that the Vision Positioning system cannot work properly on surfaces without clear pattern variations. 3. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft status indicator will flash green two times, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off and the aircraft will hover in place. S1 Aircraft The performance of your Vision Positioning System is affected by the surface over which it is flying. The ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when operating above sound-absorbing materials. In addition, the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from P-mode to A-mode automatically if neither GPS nor Vision Positioning System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations: Flying close to the ground (below 0.5 meters) at fast speeds. Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). Flying over a highly reflective surfaces. Flying at high speeds (over 8 m/s at 2 meters or over 4 m/s at 1 meter). Flying over water or transparent surfaces. Flying over moving surfaces or objects. Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 100,000) surfaces. Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with the same design). Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft. Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness of the sensors. Vision Positioning is only effective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3 to 3 meters. The Vision Positioning System may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water. The Vision Positioning System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light conditions (less than 100 lux). Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is in operation. Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequency sounds that are only audible to some animals. Flight Recorder Flight data is automatically recorded to the internal storage of the aircraft. This includes flight telemetry, aircraft status information, and other parameters. To access these data, connect the aircraft to the PC through the Micro USB port and launch the DJI GO app. Attaching and Detaching the Propellers Use only DJI approved propellers with your Phantom 3 SE. The silver and black nuts on the propeller indicate where they should be attached and in which direction whey should spin. To attach the propellers properly, match the nut color with the motor dot color. 16 2017 DJI All Rights Reserved.

Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended that you use the flight simulator in the DJI GO app to hone your flight skills and practice flying safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in an open area. Flight Environment Requirements Flight 1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speeds exceeding 10 m/s, snow, rain and fog. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GPS system. 3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water. 4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including base stations and radio transmission towers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature.be very careful when flying at altitudes greater than 19, 685 feet (6000 meters) above sea level, as the performance of the battery and aircraft may be affected. 6. The Phantom 3 SE cannot operate within the polar areas. Flight Limits and No-Fly Zones All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations set forth by government and regulatory agencies including the ICAO and the FAA. For safety reasons, flights are limited by default, which helps users operate this product safely and legally. Flight limitations include height limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones. When operating in P-mode, height limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones function concurrently to manage flight safety. In A-mode, only height limits are in effect, which by default prevent the aircraft altitude from exceeding 1640 feet (500 m). Maximum flight altitude & Radius Limits Maximum flight altitude and radius limits may be changed in the DJI GO app. Be aware that the maximum flight altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In accordance with these settings, your Phantom 3 SE will fly in a restricted cylinder, as shown below: Maximum Flight Altitude Max Radius Home Point Height of aircraft when turned on 38 2017 DJI All Rights Reserved.

Micro SD card has been inserted, if necessary. 4. Gimbal is functioning normally. 5. Motors can start and are functioning normally. 6. The DJI GO app is successfully connected to the aircraft. Calibrating the Compass Only calibrate the compass when the DJI GO app or the status indicator prompt you to do so. Observe the following rules when calibrating your compass: Flight DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as cellular phones. The DJI GO app will prompt you to resolve the compass issue if the compass is affected by strong interference after calibration is complete. Follow the prompted instructions to resolve the compass issue. Calibration Procedures Choose an open area to carry out the following procedures. 1. Ensure that the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass as part of your pre-flight preparations, or if you have moved to a new location since the last calibration, tap the Aircraft Status Bar in the app and select Calibrate, then follow the on-screen instructions. 2. Hold the aircraft horizontally and rotate 360 degrees. The Aircraft Status Indicators will display a solid green light. 40 2017 DJI All Rights Reserved.

3. Hold the aircraft vertically, with nose pointing downward, and rotate it 360 degrees around the center axis. 4. Re-calibrate the aircraft if the aircraft status indicators blink red. If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration procedure, move your aircraft to a different location and try again. Flight DO NOT calibrate the compass near metal objects such as a metal bridge, cars, scaffolding. If the aircraft status indicator is blinking red and yellow alternately after placing the aircraft on the ground, the compass has detected magnetic interference. Change your location. Auto Takeoff and Auto Landing Auto Takeoff Use auto takeoff only if the Aircraft Status Indicators are blinking green. Follow the steps below to use the auto takeoff feature: 1. Launch the DJI GO app, and enter Camera page. 2. Ensure the aircraft is in P- mode. 3. Complete all steps on the pre-flight checklist. 4. Tap, and confirm that conditions are safe for flight. Slide the icon to confirm and takeoff. 5. Aircraft takes off and hovers at (1.2 meters) above ground. Aircraft Status Indicator blinks rapidly when it is using the Vision Position System for stabilization. The aircraft will automatically hover below 3 meters. It is recommended to wait until there is sufficient GPS lock before using the Auto Take-off feature. Auto-Landing Use auto-landing only if the Aircraft Status Indicators are blinking green. Follow the steps below to use the auto-landing feature: 1. Ensure the aircraft is in P- mode. 2. Check the landing area condition before tapping, to begin landing.
